Puligny-Montrachet, Champ Canet, 1er Cru, 2024
A touch more reductive smokiness than the previous wines in the range, and then really exciting nervy fruit on the palate, yellow fruits but with a prominent mineral spine and touch of gunflint that runs throughout. Broad and creamy on the palate, this tapers beautifully to a fine mineral finish. Another very complete wine.
critic reviews
The 2024 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Champ Canet has turned out very nicely, offering up a reductive bouquet of pear, baking spices, sweet citrus oil, toasted nuts and struck match. Medium- to full-bodied, satiny and suave, with a layered core and a mineral finish, it will offer a broad drinking window.
The 2024 Puligny-Montrachet Champ Canet 1er Cru comes from a single hectare block. The aromatics leap from the glass with vivacious citrus peel, crushed stone and white flower scents that are beautifully defined. The palate has exquisite balance, a shimmering line of acidity and wonderful poise with a persistent, subtly spiced creamy texture on the finish. I thought the 2023 was outstanding…the 2024 could be even better.
